[LIT] Looking for book suggestions

[Lucinda Marcello]

I agree with the Bluford Series, very popular. Thanks for the Townsend Press 
information, Heather. The Cirque du Freak books were popular with reluctant 
but very capable readers. The Lightning Thief and three sequels, The Thief, 
The Uglies were all series books that were constantly checked out at our 
school.

Both boys and girls liked the series by Stephanie Meyer--Twilight,  New 
Moon, and Eclipse (fourth book due out this summer). Our seventh graders 
read more this year than any of us can remember thanks to book talks, 
teachers prereading books, peers recommending books, and the great selection 
available today. I am reading the new adult series by Stephanie Meyer called 
The Host. What are you reading?

Also, the Bluford Series. All the kids love them and they are only $1 each
when you order them from Townsend Press!

"The world of books is the most remarkable creation of
man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments
fall; nations perish; civilizations grow old and die out;
new races build others. But in the world of books are
volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet
live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were
written, still telling men's hearts of the hearts of men
centuries dead." --Clarence Day

"While the rhetoric is highly effective, remarkably little
good evidence exists that there's any educational substance
behind the accountability and testing movement."
—Peter Sacks, Standardized Minds

"When our children fail competency tests the schools lose
funding. When our missiles fail tests, we increase
funding. "
—Dennis Kucinich, Democratic Presidential Candidate
